    Poor Scotland. They voted against Brexit, but were dragged into the quagmire by England.

      38% of Scotland voted to Leave. 44% of Northern Ireland voted to Leave. 52% of Wales voted to Leave.

      The idea that this is merely a mess of England’s making is a little unfair, because there’s plenty of blame to go around; Why did 44% of people in Northern Ireland think leaving the EU would be a good idea?

      They pushed a question on people that they had no real ability to answer, and then forced us to answer that question with what was essentially a Yes/No answer.

        I mean that one’s easy, they wanted to break the Good Friday Agreement and put up a border in Ireland. Didn’t work out for them but they managed to break it anyway by going into government with the Tories.

      Don’t forget that London on the whole voted to remain.

        Agreed. I’m sick of Londoners being dragged down by all these feckless provincials.

          I’m sick of being lumped in with people that elected Trump because I live in the United States. But that’s how it is, we’re part of a collective.
